President Trump on Wednesday took to a podium in the Rose Garden for an unannounced speech to discuss the ongoing efforts by Congressional Democrats to investigate his administration.
Trump started off by refuting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Wednesday accusation that he is engaged in a “cover up,” saying “I don’t do cover ups.”

Watch:
Trump called the Democrats’ post-Mueller report efforts against him “phony investigations,” and blamed them for hindering progress on a bipartisan infrastructure deal.
“I walked into the room and I told Sen. Schumer, Speaker Pelosi: I want to do infrastructure, I want to do it more than you want to do it… But you know what, you can’t do it under these circumstances.”
No infrastructure deal, Trump says.
